Entertainment Tonight - Production Assistant

#We Are Paramount  on a mission to unleash the power of content… you in?

We’ve got the brands, we’ve got the stars, we’ve got the power to achieve our mission to entertain the planet – now all we’re missing is… YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Together, we co-create moments that matter – both for our audiences and our employees – and aim to leave a positive mark on culture.

This PA will be assigned to one of ET's Supervising Producers in the NYC bureau, supporting a mix of exclusives, features, red carpet coverage, set visits, and news. One day you might be building a folder off breaking news, the next you're on the ground at a red carpet or a set visit. The best PAs bring editorial instincts to all of it.

If you're deep in a folder on a breaking story and you spot a vault clip that just became gold, we need you to recognize it and flag it. That awareness is what separates a good PA from a great one.
